Progress pictures of a modern temple to Pan being built in Arcadia, Greece. The guy spearheading the project is archaeologist Evangelos Bexis, and when it's complete it will be painted with vibrant colors, just as all temples were in ancient times.

Nature is healing, and Pan returns to Arcadia. Praises and glory to the deathless gods!

I'm working tonight as the beginning of the very bad storm is hitting my city, so I have Tyche and Hestia's travel shrines set up here, along with candles for Zeus and Hermes.

🧿🧿🪔 May I and everyone else in the path of this storm remain safe, warm, and protected at work, at home, or on the road, and may those caught outside tonight find a place to take shelter 🪔🧿🧿
